The Met Office still has sweeping yellow weather warnings in place across Wales, central and northern England and southern Scotland, advising of the danger of ice.
The warning said: "Lying snow in many areas will melt on roads and pavements by day, refreezing by night to give icy patches.
"The public should be aware of the potential for disruption to travel due to icy patches and snow blowing back onto roads."
Andy Ratcliffe, a forecaster for MeteoGroup, the weather division for the Press Association, said: "Today the snow will be mainly confined to the east of Scotland and north-east England where there will be a dusting, but nothing significant.
"Elsewhere there will be some snow showers but nothing like the accumulations we've seen over the last few days and it will remain very cold and breezy.
"Into the week there will be more scattered snow flurries but there is potential for more widespread snow returning at the end of the week."
